Trenton man gets 30-year federal sentence for illegal gun purchases

PHILADELPHIA -- A federal judge Monday sentenced a Trenton man to 30 years in prison for arranging the purchases of dozens of guns that were mainly sold in the Trenton area, according to a report in The Times of Trenton.

The report said Sean Hagins, 37, was convicted in March 2008 of conspiring to make false statements to a federal firearms licensee in connection with the straw purchases of approximately 45 firearms. Most of the guns were purchased in Bucks County, Pa.
